VID REC: Harry Potter - Everytime

Pairing: No pairing. Snape and...J.K.Rowling.

Why this vid kicks ass: Okay, can I just assume that everybody reading this is aware of Snape's fate in the final HP book? (Um...he died). Now, I know my view of his fate isn't shared by everybody - not even all Snape fans - but I'm fairly certain that I'm not alone in wishing that Snape's story had a different ending (my own personal wish would have been for him to just disappear into the shadows, with neither side knowing for sure where he'd gone).

When OotP came out, JKR said that when she wrote the end of Sirius's life, she cried. I'd wager (although not with money, mind you) that she felt no similar grief when it came to Snape. This vid - sentimental, but never cloying or cliched - is for anybody who harbors a secret (and possibly irrational *g*) belief that Snape warranted at least a "sorry."

Watch "Everytime"

I'd wager...that she felt no similar grief when it came to Snape.

That's okay--I cried enough for both of us, and I suspect I'm not the only one. I knew she'd probably kill him, but I still had to put the book down and go away for a few hours before I could finish it.

This is a lovely, lovely video. Thanks for pointing us to it.

(Why don't I have a Snape icon...?)

You're so welcome (and yes, I cried too, even though I absolutely knew he'd be dead before the end of the book)

Britney Spears makes everything better.

Seriously.

Great vid. And Everytime is an underrated little gem of a song.

I'd never even heard the song before seeing the vid!

You wouldn't have heard it unless you were a bit of an obsessive popslasher :)

It's the "I'm sorry I had sex with that dancer song". Her breakup anthem to Justin.

And actually the real video is sort of cool.
